I don't have now the code in this machine... but I remember the problem was
that when I "exec in moduledict"
something like "import weakref\m" as a module of a subpackage, the name of
the subpackage is added as the name of the module, and the pickler cannot
find it when "patching" it to persistent-module.

Example... (not tested! I haven't the code!)

sss="""import weakref # but can be something else!
<some code>
"""

Manager.newModule("packagename.modulename",sss) --> lead to

->having "__name__":"packagename.modulename" in dict-of-the-module
exec sss in dict-of-the-module --> lead to having
"packagename.weakref":<weakref module>" in dict-of-the-module

and the pickler used for patching module "sss" to a persistent-module cannot
find packagename.weakref

Basically I've not understood if "packagename" had to be added to "imported"
package in "sss" source...
